Mnemonic
[tīng-] Tinkerbell is perched atop a giant seashell 🐚, her tiny ears wide open as she listens intently to the ocean’s whispers. She spots a magical "耳" ear emerging from the sea to enhance the sound and a "口" mouth to echo the tales heard. Tinkerbell is thrilled by the enchanting stories, for it’s the first time she has heard them 听.
